UNSPSC 50436706: Dried organic japanese yams

The variety of organic yams known as organic japanese yams that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436706 Dried organic Japanese yams, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement — the source yields no solicitations specifically requesting this product. Recent opportunities tagged to broader food-supply categories (grocery items for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child-care food service) mention dried beans, fresh produce, proteins, and staple grains, but do not isolate dried organic Japanese yams as a line item or procurement focus. The code does not appear in current solicitation narratives from the issuing bodies active in the broader food-supply and nutrition-services space.

State and local food procurement in the recent opportunities block centers on school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg CACFP, Boys & Girls Club), and state health or institutional meal programs (Illinois IVHQ, Georgia institutional food supply). These buyers solicit fresh produce, dried commodities such as pinto and red beans, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees — but dried organic Japanese yams do not appear as a specified or requested item in any of the indexed opportunities from Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois posted between January and July 2026. A vendor pursuing this commodity should monitor school-district nutrition RFPs and institutional food-service solicitations in states with strong Asian dietary preferences or culinary programs, but near-term pursuit under this code is not supported by current market signals.
